Deathmaster 400K: In light of all the controversy surrounding video games and violence they supposedly cause (yet again), I've had this horrid idea. It's a disc disguised as a bootleg video game from Japan, called Deathmaster 400K: Legend of the Marquis' Jewel. Supposedly made for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii, but never released stateside, this isn't a video game. Instead, it carries a memetic agent that causes people, particularly males, to develop increasingly violent tendencies. I know it sounds like a game what makes you go crazy.

The "game" was envisioned by a corrupt member of the US Government, specifically a member of a senate (whether it was a state senate or the Senate is ambiguous) who believes that video games are the worst thing that happened to our youth since the creation of the pregnancy pill. However, they have no way to prove it. So, they call up a friend of theirs who works with [REDACTED] (Maybe AWCY, but I don't think that quite fits) and ask if they can help make something like this. They track everyone who plays the "game" and forcibly enroll them in studies about video games and violence, hoping to skew their results in a negative light.

The Cure: This is an idea I've had for a while, but have never had the nuts to write up. Basically, it's a drug developed by a middle-eastern government (I'm thinking possibly Iranian) in an attempt to "cure" sexual deviance. At a glance, the composition seems fairly mundane; it's a variant of LSD mixed with some sex hormones and dopamine. However, if anyone deemed "deviant" by their very, very loose standards consumes this drug (either through injection, ingestion, or even skin contact) suffers vivid hallucinations of them having each and every one of their sexual indiscretions being described to them in vivid detail, even if they're virgins. Then, they suffer severe pain in their sexual organs for up to 7 days (including priapism in men) and the process repeats over and over until they repent their deviance, at which point, they become unable to become aroused by any sexual activity other than male/female, missionary position. And that's just if you're straight and kinky. If you're LBGT… you get something much worse. My main concern with this is that it'll either sound too erotic, too offensive, or too gross.

I'm not saying these ideas can't be done, but you'll be walking on eggshells here. As you said, each of those can lead to quite the backlash. You're a good writer, so I trust that if you feel that you can't handle them you'll simply let them go on your own accord.
